WHAT ABOUT MY BLUE FINGER?!


"U.S. envoy reportedly seeks new Iraq PM"

By Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq --

The U.S. ambassador to Iraq has asked one of Iraq's most prominent
Shiite politicians to seek the withdrawal of Prime Minister Ibrahim
al-Jaafari's contentious nomination for a second term, two aides said
Monday.

The aides to Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim said U.S. Ambassador Zalmay
Khalilzad, had asked their boss during a meeting Saturday to
personally deliver the message to al-Jaafari.

"The U.S. ambassador's position on al-Jaafari's nomination is
negative. They want him (the prime minister) to be under their
control," al-Adeeb said.

Sen. Pat Roberts is an Asshole.


What would you say to an employee who showed up for 3 days out of the week and refused to do his job? Sen. Roberts is chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee. He has over-site on executive power relating to intelligence matters in both foreign and domestic intelligence. The New York Times published a story informing Americans that the King Georgie IV administration has unlawfully spied on Americans. What is Pat's duty? Say again? King Georgie violated federal law. The king LIED about it. He violated the 4th amendment to the constitution. He violated the FISA act. Has Pat held a hearing? NO. What is Pat's job again? He tells us instead, without a hearing, that the King did not violate the law. He tells us “You don't have civil liberties if you're dead.”

Well Senator Asshole Roberts, apparently we don't have them alive either, thanks to you.

We have been told since childhood that we have rights and protections from our government representatives and executives. We were told that men and women have DIED defending those freedoms and civil liberties. Sen Roberts thinks we should just give 'em up and trust our KING. SCREW YOU, ROBERTS! Damn you all to hell you son of a bitch! I was told Americans bled and DIED for those rights! You tell us to give 'em up 'cause it's better then being dead? Is that what you tell the gravestones at Arlington? What the HELL happened to “Give me liberty or give me death!” eh, COWARD?! Damn YOU! The LEAST I can do for those men and women who died defending my rights as an American is to stand up to apologists like YOU who seem to think it's just fine for assholes like you and our King to violate the law, your oath to your office and the constitution! The very thing those men and women died for!

GOD I hate you people.

Tweety Takes the Red Pill.


In the "Open Letter to Chris Matthews" blog there are a few examples where Matthews sounds like he writes for the "Weekly (pronounced WEAKly) Standard" or "The American Spectator".

Yesterday wasn't one of them. On Imus's radio/TV broadcast on MSNBC and at about the time most of us are sleepwalking, Matthews decides to sound... ...sane. Real. He gets it! What we "traitors" and "cut and runners" have been banging our heads against the wall about, from Tweety's mouth to God's ear!

Chris Matthews: "Well I am just going to stick to this point that the president led us in there with the background music of American culture. Everybody was led to believe that we were getting payback, we were avenging what happened on 9/11 and that we are going to get them. Vice President Cheney said we are going to attack terrorism at its base. Over and over the language was, this is where it came from, in fact most recently the President suggested that it was always the hot pursuit, like a new York police chase, we chased them back into their country. We pursued the terrorists back to Iraq and it's all nonsense. The reason there are terrorists in Iraq today like Zarqawi is we created the opening by blowing the country apart. From the beginning it's been not true. Now you can't prove motive and you can't prove somebody lies, but from the beginning everything about how they've got WMD's, they are a threat to us, they are going to bomb us with a nuclear weapon, this country is going to be an easy liberate, it's going to be a cake walk. As Cheney said as recently as ten months ago the insurgents are in their last throws. Everything that is said is not true. And right to the end here, here we are now and it's not a civil war and when Allawi the prime Minster is saying it is a civil war and here is the president quoting his own people that it's not a civil war. I mean the denial has been continuous. So you really can't count on the administration to tell you what is going on. That is just the fact. You've got to check it out. By the way, the president said this week that he wants the whole truth about what is going on in Iraq, the whole truth and that the media isn't telling the whole story. I'll tell you what we are not telling. We are not showing pictures of the twenty five hundred bodies coming back because they won't let us show the pictures. They don't want the whole truth out and that's the fact."

Good morning, Tweety. You sound just like me...
What the hell, Chris?

Go to "Crooks and Liars" for the video. "Crooks and Liars", you are the best.

England has her Queen mother...

...and we have our Queen Bitch of the universe.

Here are some of her wonderful quotes and doings from the past and present...

On war...
~"But why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's, not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" ...because they wasted their lives on your lying son's war you heartless bitch.

On the homeless;
~“And so many of the people in the arenas here you know, were underprivileged anyway. This is working very well for them.” ...Yeah. Let them eat cake, eh?

...and on giving;
~"Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others."

Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil. I'm guessing this is an example of "unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others".

Even Grandma keeps time for the first crime family.

Tweety's Long, Long Dubai...

Matthews does it again. He plays “Puffball” with Congressman Duncan Hunter. Dubai this, Dubai that... Dubai is a CON. Dubai was a set-up to give Republicans the look and feel of challenging the King. I'm pretty sure the whole thing was worked out long in advance, a little gift to congress via Rove. The King only had to say “VETO” while all the fake, angered Republicans can say “Oh, MY! Not our PORTS!”. As they “fought” tooth and nail, body slamming in the pro-wrestling arena known as Washington D.C. For the upper hand, we all wondered “How will this end?”.

Dubai packs it's bags and goes home. Did you ever see the Paul Newman movie “The Sting”?

Let me Remind you all who Congressman Duncan Hunter (R) of San Diego is. Last year, when Congressman Murtha suggested that our troops pull out of Iraq as soon as possible to “the horizon” known as the “Murtha Resolution”, That son of a Bitch Hunter pushed the “poisoned pill” resolution that would require troops to be pulled out immediately. I didn't hear Mr. "HardBall" Tweety ask that SOB why he put that resolution to the floor...

Why didn't Matthews play?
He only plays hardball with Democrats.

I just can't understand it. After all, it SURE the hell is the Republican party who like to play games.

MWO is Off-line but...


MWO's (INCOMPLETE) POCKET GUIDE TO RIGHT-WING LIES ABOUT BILL CLINTON
AND OSAMA BIN LADEN

from:
http://www.mediawhoresonline.com/

The right-wing and the Media Whores continue to spread the atrocious lie that Bill Clinton did little or nothing to stand up to Osama bin Laden. It has been part of the right-wing excuse machine since September 11 -- the old trick of, when cornered, blame Clinton. Rush Limbaugh's smear in the Wall Street Journal was typical: "Mr. Clinton can be held culpable for not doing enough when he was commander-in-chief to combat the terrorists who wound up attacking the World Trade Center and Pentagon."

...And now, in the wake of the continuing breaking news of the Bush 9/11 scandal, the right wing and the Whores are at it once again, trying to apply a fresh coat of Teflon to the pitted Bush Administration by telling lies about Bill Clinton. Supposedly, Clinton did nothing when Al Qaeda attacked American embassies in Somalia and elsewhere, when it attacked the U.S.S. Cole,
and so on and so on. The right wing and its pliable Whores have even convinced a sizeable portion of the American people -- at least according to one of the Media Whore polls -- that Clinton's inaction is in partly to blame for the atrocities of September 11.

CLINTON'S INACTION? This is one of the ugliest right-wing/Media Whore lies yet. But since the news media are too frightened of Dubya and Karl to tell the truth, MWO has to fill in the gap. Here, adapted from one of Bill Press's old columns, is a highly incomplete list of steps that Bill Clinton and his Administration took against bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Compare it to the utter inaction/failure -- indeed, the complete abandonment of Clinton's determined anti-terrorist policies -- by the Bush Administration over the first eight months of 2001.

1996

Clinton administration brokers an agreement with the government of Sudan to arrest bin Laden and turn him over to Saudi Arabia. For 10 weeks, Clinton tried to persuade the Saudis to accept the offer. They refused. With no cooperation from the Saudis, the deal fell apart. No media operation bothers to look into what influence the Saudis' old friends in the Bush family may have had in convincing the Saudis to refuse to cooperate.

1998

-- Clinton gives the CIA a green light to use whatever covert means are necessary to gather information on Osama bin Laden and his followers, and to disrupt and preempt any planned terrorist activities against the United States.

-- The CIA, under Clinton, trains and equips five dozen commandos from Pakistan to enter Afghanistan and capture bin Laden. The efforts collapse when a military coup overthrows the Pakistani government and installs a new one.

-- Clinton signs a secret agreement with Uzbekistan to begin joint covert operations against bin Laden and Afghanistan's Taliban regime. U.S. Special Forces have been training there ever since.

-- Clinton's unleashes cruise missile attacks on bin Laden in Afghanistan and the Sudan, following the terrorist bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Operating on limited intelligence --

at that time, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Tazikistan refused to share information on the terrorists whereabouts inside Afghanistan -- American forces miss killing bin Laden by only a couple of hours.

-- Republicans (led by Trent Lott) and Naderites (led by Ralph Nader) accuse Clinton of only firing missiles in order to divert media attention from the Lewinsky hearings. A longer campaign against bin Laden would have stirred up even more criticism.

1998-99

-- Clinton sponsors legislation to freeze the financial assets of international organizations suspected of funneling money to bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, but it is killed, on behalf of big banks, by Republican Senator Phil Gramm of Texas. George Bush will later call for identical legislation

-- but only after September 11, 2001.

1999-2000

-- Clinton Administration, through press spokesman Joe Lockhart, goes public with warnings of a "general" threat from Al Qaeda. Clinton's intelligence agencies then stop cold bin Laden's planned "millennium" bombing plot aimed against the Los Angeles International Airport.

As we say, this is a HIGHLY incomplete list. (MWO invites readers to send in their favorite additional examples.) For more details about Clinton Administration anti-bin Laden activities in 2000, and Bush Administration indifference, see Michael Hirsh and Michael Isikoff's current Newsweek article, including the following passage:

By the end of the Clinton administration, the then national-security adviser Sandy Berger had become "totally preoccupied" with fears of a domestic terror attack, a colleague recalls. True, the Clintonites had failed to act decisively against Al Qaeda, but by the end they were certain of the danger it posed. When, in January 2001, Berger gave Rice her handover briefing, he covered the bin Laden threat in detail, and, sources say, warned her: "You will be spending more time on this issue than on any other."

Rice was alarmed by what she heard, and asked for a strategy review. But the effort was marginalized and scarcely mentioned in ensuing months as the administration committed itself to other priorities, like national missile defense (NMD) and Iraq. Clinton fought bin Laden tooth and nail -- whereas the Bush Administration cut off drone tracking of bin Laden, abandoned federal oversight of terrorist money laundering and offshore banking operations, and, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, ordered federal agencies to "back off" the bin Laden family.

I Wish...


More Adobe parody fun. I don't know who did the original. I'm responsible for only the "finger". Thank you for the fleeting moment of zen who ever you are.
